I'm one in a million

Dig in and help us grow to the one million mark.

Every planting season, enthusiastic, energetic, and environmentally-minded New Yorkers volunteer in tree planting activities in and around city parks. Learn more about upcoming volunteer tree planting and care opportunities, including: Spring Reforestation Day and Natural Areas Volunteers Events.

When you attend a tree planting event with us, we will provide all tools, gloves, and trees. Please come dressed in clothes that can get dirty and closed-toed shoes, and bring your own water bottle. We will teach you everything you need to know about planting a tree in a park.

ATTEND A TREE PLANTING

"Once again we had a wonderful time at MillionTreesNYC thanks to the great job you do in coordination. This year I took a team of 24 students and 4 adults from IS 51 Staten Island/Art in Action SASF. We had a wonderful and productive day. My group received nice comments from the Parks staff. Look forward to doing this again next year."
